REPLY:
You probably have a fungus spreading through your lucky bamboo. If you have any stems that are not showing signs of being infected remove them from the rest and place in a new clean container. As to the infected ones, if you have any stems with a fair amount of green left to them you can start new plants and throw the infected parts away. You will need to clean your container before you start the new plants. Go to We Are Not Always Lucky With Lucky Bamboo to get instructions on how to start new lucky bamboo. Good Luck and Keep Me posted.
